I turn left as soon as I enter the temple.

Also, thank you for your help.  I admit to also playing on an emulator, so I can take a screenshot. (:)

Edit: I have it...

Ah, I see. The correct way to exit would be going right, until you run into a plain gate like this:

Then use ice breath on it.
Continue ahead but watch out for the charging dog (I hate those things!).
In the next screen there will be VERY THIN platforms so be careful about how fast you go! After the platforms, you'll go down a slope to water which is easily passed using ice-breath to make platforms as you go. After the water is another slope and a sloped platform or two. After those, once you're at the bottom you should encounter a regular gate. Continue through to confront the ice temple's boss. You can easily defeat it with fire breath if you hold down the button to make it go in a continuous stream of flame. If you need any more help, just ask. 8D

Hope this helped,

I have been playing Spyro: The Eternal Night.  I am stuck at Ice Temple.  I found an element gate, but my ice breath isn't opening it.

I noticed a thunderbolt on the gate, so I'm wondering if it isn't opened by ice at all.  If that's true, how do I exit the Ice Temple?

Answers are appreciated. Thank you.
